Theme boats usually don't age well but I'd say Gunslinger NT, Speed Racer MTI and the RumRunner Cig have aged well.

Love that movie, it was sooo bad, it was good. It had everything……
Bat car
Bat bike
Bat copter
Bat boat (Glastron V174 with a 6cyl sterndrive, the ‘jet rooster tail’ was a set up)

Even had an aerosol can of shark repellant bat spray to get that nasty old white pointer off Batman’s leg, if I recall correctly!

Batboat definitely goofy.
One comment even said "That thing is hideous".

Funny you mention 1075's.
One of the pictures had 2) 1075's sitting out.
One commenter asked if they were spares or out of the boat.
Auctioneer claimed they were spares.

For commissioning that boat, yes.

Anyhow, in all seriousness there was a comment where someone mentioned fraud and prison. Accurate?? Don't know!

The original owners were sent up the river (LOL) for Car Warranty fraud stuff.

While I WOULD NOT want to take this boat out on the water, it is/was an amazing piece of art. Should've been hanging on the wall or inside a mall or museum since the day it was completed. Gary Stray killed it on the final results from the original conceptions.
